Considering that nasolabial folds are not "wrinkles" in the conventional sense, why are fillers typically used to treat them?

Asked By:nlag in Atlanta, GA

Nasolabial folds are caused by skin from the mid-face sagging into the lower half of the face. Given that they aren't really a "wrinkle" at all but an excess of drooping skin, why are fillers typically used to treat them? How does this achieve the desired results?
